My friend just gave me a c++ problem..
well the problem was to make small circles on circumfrence of a big circle that is positioned in the middle of screen...
well i can get that middle of screen by getmaxx()/2 ...
but all i can get to find locus of the circle is throught the formulas :
rcos(theta)
rsin(theta)
but this i suppose wrks only for circle having centre (0,0)..
so im kinda stuck here
any help would be appreciated

So just add the centre (cx,cy) to your calculations

Not to inject extra complexity, but if you need to get those exterior circles to fit together into a nice ring, with each smaller circle touching it's neighbor and the circumference of the big one, then it's math time.
See the Soddy circle page on Mathworld:

Look for Bllew's work (3). Depending on the number of "excircles", it may simply to something easy like the Descartes Circle Theorem.
